Join the IJC as we follow the Illinois River on a fall color drive. We will enjoy a picnic lunch (pack your own or stop at a nearby deli) and then continue on to Springfield to visit the Lincoln Home. From there it's the hotel and a fine dinner.
On Sunday we will visit the Lincoln Presidential Museum and the Dana-Thomas house. The tours will wrap up around 4:30 and then you can head home or stay for dinner with the club and tour other Springfield area attractions on Monday before heading home.
